Mimi Kirchner's Dolls, Tiny Worlds, and a Giveaway

I stumbled across the work of Mimi Kirchner while reading Etsy's The Storque. I've been everywhere in her Etsy shop looking at her wonderful dolls and tiny world ("make-do") pincushions. I am nearly speechless. Her work really strikes a chord with me, and I'm not even certain why that is so. I used to collect dolls when I was younger, and although I really don't need to start collecting them again considering how immense some of my collections have become, but I really, really want one of her beautiful works of art. I love her Luna babydoll, and her schoolgirl and nerdy girl dolls!

If you'd like to learn more about her and her work, you can watch this video courtesy of Etsy:

I'm just smitten. Her work is just more inspiration to start sewing and crafting much more often.

By the way, she's giving away one of her tiny worlds! Click here for details.
